Lehigh County and Allentown homicides

These figures represent the number of homicides logged by the Lehigh County coroner per year. The table includes homicides where someone was injured outside the county but was declared dead in Lehigh County by the county coroner.

These figures differ slightly from Allentown Police Department figures. If a person is shot in 2022 but dies in 2023, the police department would log the case as a 2022 homicide. The coroner would log it in 2023. The coroner also logs non-criminal homicides. (i.e. when someone is shot and killed in self-defense)
